Traits

Description

Traits are attributes given to you to further increase your strength beside basic attributes, gears and Talents.

Every player have a maximum of 12 trait points, given at every even number Power up, so Powering up from Power 2, 4, 6, etc. gives you a Trait point. The only exception are the 1st, 9th and 19th Power up.

Each trait can only be increased up to 6 points.

Vitality

• Increase maximum Health by 10 per point. (Maximum of +60 Health)

Erudition

• Increase max Ether by 30 and max Tempo by 5 per point, also increase Tempo gain by 5% each point. (Maximum of +180 Ether, +30 Tempo, and +30% Tempo gain)

Proficiency

• Increase Weapon investment scaling by 6.5% per point. (Maximum of 39% increase from scaling)
  • Because the scaling increase is a percentage increase, it is much more effective the higher your weapon's innate scaling is.
  • This is combined multiplicatively with your weapon's innate attribute scaling.
  • This applies to every weapon with no exceptions.
  • Weapons that have no scaling will not benefit from Proficiency's scaling bonus unless you equip Scaling Rings, as Proficiency's scaling bonus is a percentage increase. These weapons are: Saintsblade, Sovereign Bangle, and Formless Shard.
• Increase Weapon PEN by 2.5% per point. (Maximum of 15% increase from PEN)
  • The PEN increase is additive to PEN from other sources, including your weapon's innate PEN.

Songchant

• Increase Mantra investment scaling by 6.5% per point. (Maximum of 39% increase from scaling)
  • This is combined multiplicatively with your Mantra's innate attribute scaling.
  • Most Mantras have 1.65 (if Attunement-less) or 2.75 (if Attuned) investment scaling. Because the scaling numbers are so low, an increase to your Mantra scaling won't increase it's overall damage by a large amount, even at 6 Songchant. Because of this, Songchant is more often taken for the PEN rather than the damage bonus that higher scaling provides.
• Increase Mantra PEN by 2.5% per point. (Maximum of 15% increase from PEN)
  • The PEN increase is additive to PEN from other sources.
• On Oath and Monster Mantras, instead increase their damage output by 2% per point.
• This does NOT affect the scaling on attunement-based weapons like the Hero Blades, only Mantras.

Dexterity

• This Trait is exclusive to Vow of Iron .
• Increase the height and distance of air dashes.
• Increase sprint and slide speed.
